Heather you will be missed by many - my thoughts are with all your family and friends near and far. In writing this Bundy Rum and the proclaimers I would walk 1000 miles just to fall down at your door. Also drunken hair cuts. Say G'day to Rick and Grandad A for me - much love Rodney Yorston-Dare (Slattery)

It still doesn't feel real that she is gone, I can still hear her laugh and picture her smile.
